Only for the hardcore BBQguy. No shortcuts. No skimping. No pre-made mixes or sauces etc.

Backroads and Sidestreets

This covers everything from main dishes to sides to desserts.

Betty Crocker's Cookbook - covers all the basics

New Basics - Rosso & Lukins (first paperback copy got worn out and broke in two, now have a hard cover)

365 Great Barbecue & Grilling Recipes - Gandara

 

[Barry Jive and The Uptown Five]

Colorado Collage - Junoir League of Denver

This is by far the best we own. Whenever we have to bring a dish to some get together, iit comes from here. Everyone ooh's and ahh's as it's always something they've never seen or tried.

Two Meatballs

My favorite Italian cookbook. Check out the stuffed porkchops.

 

[Sack Boy]

No cookbook recommendation from me.

Got two knife wounds on my left hand today - one when chopping parsley and another while carving grapefruit sections.

Haven't looked through to see if it's mentioned, but as a reference/recipe manual the first one I thought of from my (well stocked) shelf is Cooking A to Z.

My favorite subscription is Cook's Illustrated

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

River Road Recipes, I & II. The first one especially is a classic in this part of the country.

The Silver Spoon. The bible for Italian food

Didn't read the thread. If it hasn't been mentioned, Mark Bitman's How to Cook Everything is great.

 

[Rohn Jambo]

I usually search YouTube. The cooks who make the videoes include good tips and hints not always found in cookbooks. There are always a few versions but I tend to choose the higher rated one that is not over-complicated.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

I like doing food from scratch the old fashioned way, and therefore like Nourishing Traditions, as far as cookbooks go.

But the book I use most often for cooking, by far, is The Flavor Bible. It is not a book of recipes. It is a book that helps you create your own recipes.

Barefoot Contessa is the one my wife and I use a lot. Easy recipes, don't require a ton of crazy ingredients. Always tasty.

 

[elbowrm]

I agree with the Barefoot Contessa. Not overly complicated, and great tasting food. I made her provencale leg of lamb for a dinner party a few weeks ago and it kicked ###.

Other favorites are her Mac and cheese (Gruyere w cheddar, cavatappi, nutmeg) dill potato salad, baked ham, and barbecue sauce.

Against the Grain.

It is wonderful for Celiacs.
